Spreading the work out more would be convenient, but I don't see an obvious
way to do that while still working with fresh and representative data.  In
practice, since this will be a scheduled event for each cycle, it will be
"we know we will need to consider 20 things during this time" and "now we
need to do those 20 things we planned to do during this time" so it may not
be so bad.  I think we can spread it out over a few weeks each quarter, and
not cram it into a single week.
